The unthinkable fight between Zlatan Ibrahimovic and LeBron James continues to add chapters. After the Swedish footballer repeatedly criticized the basketball player for actively participating in political actions against Donald Trump, NBA stars came out to defend the Los Angeles Lakers player and considered the Milan player unwelcome.

“Someone to tell Ibrahimovic that there's a difference between political opinions and speaking out against persecution, oppression and calling out dictators. Black Lives Matter isn't a political statement, we're speaking out against oppression. In the United States we call it freedom of expression”, said Enes Kanter on his Twitter account, identified with the political struggle for his particular battle against Turkish President Erdogan.

"No, what divides humanity is dictators and authoritarians. When athletes speak up,it’s not for fun or attention. It’s to hold these regimes accountable When you are arrogant and have no empathy or sympathy & only care for yourself, you can tell people not to stand up for justice", he added.

While former basketball player Baron Davis also came out in defense of James and was very tough on the gunner: “Zlatan, keep your ass out of Los Angeles. The Galaxy suck anyway. And you're dumber than the devil. Grab that stolen look from Zohan and return it to Adam Sandler. And now he lets the King speak”.
